Trail running accessories
The Accessories page for trail running brings together the little gear for runners: beanies Odlo, Craft, Mizuno and Nike, headbands, neck gaiters Buff, caps and visors, balaclavas, gloves Nike and Leki, water bottles Nathan and Nike, and hydration belts.
The little extras that change the comfort of a run.
Protecting Your Head and Neck
In cold weather, we lose a lot of heat through our heads: a technical beanie, thin and breathable, like Odlo, Craft or Mizuno, keeps you warm without making you sweat; the reflective beanie makes you visible at night. The headband protects your ears when it's chilly and absorbs sweat. The neck gaiter, like Buff, can be worn as a collar, headband or beanie, protecting you from wind and sun. The balaclava covers your whole face in extreme cold.
The Selection
Accessories are organised by type:
Trail running also includes trail shoes, men's clothing, women's clothing, bags, equipment.
Hands and Hydration
Running gloves, lightweight like Nike Pacer or Dri-FIT, keep your hands warm without making them sweat; polar models are suitable for very cold weather, and Leki gloves clip onto trekking poles. To drink while running, a soft handheld bottle, like the Nathan LittleShot, or a straw bottle from Nike fits easily, and the belt holds the bottle freeing your hands for medium-length outings.
Running in All Seasons
In summer, a cap or visor protects from the sun and absorbs sweat. In winter, a beanie, gloves and neck gaiter are often enough to make a run enjoyable, without weighing you down with layers. You choose accessories that easily fit in a pocket or vest, to take off when your body warms up. Wash them regularly at low temperatures.

Frequently Asked Questions
Bottle belt or vest: how to carry water?
The bottle belt is enough for a one or two-hour run, with a bottle and some bars. Beyond that, the hydration vest distributes the load better and carries more water, food, and a jacket.
Cap or visor: what to wear for trail running?
The cap protects the entire scalp from the sun and light rain. The visor allows the top of your head to breathe and dissipates heat better: it is suitable for hot weather and for runners who sweat a lot.
How to wear a neck gaiter while running?
The neck gaiter, like Buff, can be worn as a collar against the cold, as a headband to absorb sweat, or as a lightweight beanie. Pulled up over the nose, it warms the air you breathe in very cold weather.
What gloves to wear when running in the cold?
Go for thin and breathable gloves that keep warmth without making you sweat, and allow you to use a watch or phone. Leki gloves can be combined with poles: their loop clips onto the handle.
Why choose a reflective beanie?
A beanie with reflective details reflects light from headlights and lamps: the runner remains visible on the road, whether heading out or returning from a trail at night. It pairs well with a headlamp in winter.
